Fort Seward Covered Wagon Train

Fort Seward, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 1969, by a group of local citizens in order to preserve, protect and promote the history of North Dakota, and particularly the local history of Jamestown, N.D., and the Fort Seward site (1872-1877). A board of directors initiates and coordinates the activities of the organization. The Fort Seward Wagon Train began as a onetime experience but the organizers thought the experience so worthwhile that a wagon train has been organized annually since the first one in 1969. Now Fort Seward, Inc. considers the wagon train a project of great benefit to those who wish to relive the pioneer family experience. This adventure takes place for one full week in late June.
